Best Time to Camp at Pulver Mountain Group Site

Perched at 8,500 feet, Pulver Mountain offers a refreshing escape from summer heat, with crisp mornings giving way to sun-drenched afternoons perfect for outdoor activities. The high-altitude climate brings dramatic afternoon thunderstorms that roll across the peaks, followed by spectacular evening light shows. Peak season delivers reliably dry conditions and abundant sunshine, though the elevation means temperatures can swing dramatically between day and night. Savvy campers pack layers to embrace both the warm mountain sun and cool alpine evenings.
